#RetroComputing #DuckDuckFedi:

What options are out there for SSL-stripping HTTP proxies for vintage browsers? I was using WebOne, but I've recently switched some things around and now its dependency on the MS .NET runtime is a problem so I need to find something else.

And it's working! I think this is one of the sexiest computers ever made.

I do fear one of the channels on the #SID has died though. But with all my retro gear stowed away I have no way of testing besides the 'organ' program that's on the demo disk that came with it.

Here's the code for the little isometric game engine in Go, using raylib-go.

It's called RETROMANSION, it's incomplete and some things still don't work, but it may be useful and educative to some.

I found a pile of these SyQuest disks. They seem like a larger version of Sony's mini-disc.

They're a hard metal (I assume magnetic, like a hard drive) disk in a plastic casing.

The back says they're from 1994.

I'm thinking about streaming myself using an emulator to program an Atari 800 game (using a combination of Basic and Assembly Language) - would any of my Masto Mutuals be interested in watching such a thing? #RetroComputing #Programming #Atari8Bit

Dale Luck opens the Amiga/040th panel at #VCFWest with a retrospective on the Amiga hardware preview at January 1984's CES show.

He had to write the code for the demo before any hardware was available, so he also wrote a Blitter emulator!

I'm enjoying the #MEGA65 keynote by @dddaaannn at #VCFWest.

Wings of Fear - A WIP top scrolling WW1 Shoot 'em up from Roar Tjørhom gets a new demo! https://www.indieretronews.com/2025/08/wings-of-fear-wip-top-scrolling-ww1.html

I got my start on a PT-SOL20 and I spent years banging away on the apple// and C64 but, honestly, I'm not that crazy about the 8-bit era. My heart will always be with the 16 and 32 bit era. Wildly capable machines that were easy to use. There was still a diversity of architectures and ecosystems. And, most importantly, the systems were designed to solve problems and perform tasks not as engines for extracting rent. #retrocomputing #HotTake

This is one of my favorite episodes of Computer Chronicles, it centers around software piracy/cracking. This clip shows an interaction between a pirate demonstrating the use of a cracking-oriented BBS, and an attorney talking about the legal issues. Not only is it a fascinating historical snapshot (1985) of something that is still obviously relevant, but I absolutely love how respectful Stewart and Gary always were, even if they didn't condone the subject matter. I really like this style and quality of technology journalism, I wish we had more of it today.

INIT HELLO, a convention about the Apple II computer, was just held last weekend. I was hoping I could attend, but didn't have the time.

It also had a better COVID policy than the great majority of cons these days and based on pictures of the event, the great majority of people were masked.

Good job, fellow old nerds.

Want to have some retro gaming fun? What about „Taipan!“? Still fun after 45 years. No need to get a TRS-80 or an Apple II, you can play online: https://www.taipangame.com — although playing on a „trash 80“ is classic.
Looks like I have to brush up on my Taipan skills a bit, 40 years ago, I‘ve been on the upper level of Master Taipan…

The #Apple menu is kinda brilliant.

It's not in your face. It occupies only a few pixels. But it's always there as a subtle indicator that you're using a #Macintosh and not some other computer.

#Windows95 was in many ways the moment when #Microsoft caught up with Apple, and this is one of them: it added an always-visible #Windows logo on the Start button.
